Chapter 186
"Incense?" Li Mu was amused and cried, and said, "How could it be incense so be so square? This is called soap." After saying that, he pointed to the perfume again and said, "This is called perfume."
“Soap, perfume?”
Don’t talk about Bai Qiaoqiao, who was born in Mayi, even Li Zhien, who had seen the world, had never seen these two things. Li Mu had to explain that the facts proved that women of any era had similar preferences. Women in later generations liked perfume, and women of the Tang Dynasty also liked it. Li Mu said a few simple words, and soon both of them understood.
"This soap can be used to bathe, cleanse your face, or wash clothes."
"Isn't that soap?" Li Zhien said suddenly: "No wonder there is a word 'soap' in his name."
Li Mu didn't know what the soapcorn was. After he traveled through time, he had never washed his own clothes. Bai Qiaoqiao helped him. Even now, Li Mu's clothes must be washed by Bai Qiaoqiao himself, and Li Zhien was just helping. Li Mu said several times that he could just let the maids wash them, but Bai Qiaoqiao didn't let them go, and he didn't know what she thought. She regarded washing clothes as one of the rights of the "right wife" and was reluctant to share them with others.
Although Li Mu didn't know what was going on, since Li Zhien said that, he would go on the road. Anyway, these two things are unprecedented and have the right to name them, so it makes sense to explain them.
"That's right. The meaning of this 'soap' is to say that it has the function of soap. The word "fat" is added before, which means that it is made of fat and oil, and when it is connected, it is called soap."
"Fatty?" Li Zhien showed a heartache expression and said, "What a waste!"
The ancients liked to eat fatty meat. The ancients looked up to fatty meat so highly not because they did not know how to lose weight, but because many people could not even guarantee food and clothing, so they did not need to lose weight. In terms of taste, fatty meat is more satisfying than lean meat; in terms of calorie, eating a pound of fat is more hungry than eating a pound of lean meat, so the ancients had to like fatty meat. At the same time, eating fatty meat is also a symbol of a good life.
When Li Zhien first arrived at Zhulu Hou Mansion, he specialized in picking fat people to eat meat. But later, he really had meat every meal. When he got tired of eating fat meat, he became the same taste as Li Mu, and liked fat and thin.
But the subconscious mind in her head will not change because of this. When it comes to fatty meat and fat, conditioned reflexes will still feel wasteful. Because soap beans are very cheap and fatty oil is very expensive. Bai Qiaoqiao is the same. Although she no longer cares about the accounts, she still has a very frugal thought after the hard days. Although she will not be the kind of frugality that she should not spend, she will not spend any money she shouldn't spend.
Seeing that the two of them had such an consistent attitude, Li Mu said helplessly: "Do you two understand what buying and selling means? Purchase means, we buy materials, make things, and then sell them at a higher price to make profits. No matter how expensive the fat, we make soap, add the cost, sell it several times, and make everything back, are we still afraid of losing it?"
Lee Ji-eun blinked and asked, "Master, how much does this piece of soap cost?"
"That's it..." Li Mu passed the consumed materials in his mind and said, "It's not expensive, it's always money."
"Ah?!" Both women were shocked. Does it cost a lifetime to buy soap half a palm-sized soap? This can be bought for several kilograms of soap! It is not a problem to use for half a year, and such a small piece of soap is obviously not available for half a year.
Lee Ji-en couldn't help but feel a little worried and said, "Master, can you make money?"
"Don't ask such a stupid question. When did I make money in the business I did?"
Li Mu is not talking nonsense because he has no intention of doing business for ordinary people. This is also the reason why it seems very easy to make money so far. Eating is still a problem for ordinary people. Many people even have no concept of taking a bath for a month or several months. Will he spend the money if you ask him to buy a toiletry product?
Who has this leisure heart? They must be rich people. In this era, who are rich, noble, rich, rich, and rich. The money of these people has accumulated from generation to generation, only in and out, and they have hair piled up in and out of the warehouse and are not taken out. They are the real rich people of this era.
What Li Mu has created now is unprecedented and very practical. Only rare and practical things can allow these rich people to spend their money.
If you are counting on making money from the people, your business will be compensated from the beginning.
Moreover, Li Mu decided to make perfume and soap into luxury goods. At least in the short term, it is a luxury goods, which means that he will not open the supply, but will only sell a limited number every day, and then let Bai Naoer's "scalper" and make the price rise.
Destroy these kids who want to win the hearts of beautiful women.
Thinking of this, Li Mu seemed to hear the sound of Alipay accruing in his previous life.
Crazy, gold coins enter the pocket.
Is there anything more wonderful than this?
"Xiaozhu Xiaomei! Boil more water today and use a big bucket. I want to take a shower with my wife!"
Li Mu suddenly let out such a shout, Bai Qiaoqiao's face turned red with shame, and she said shyly: "Husband, don't shout so loud..."
Li Zhien's reaction was exactly the opposite. He pulled Li Mu's hand and shook it, saying softly: "Master, can you let Zhien wash it together? Zhien can rub his back."
"Okay, okay!" Li Mu laughed, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Zhien can rub his back, master, I can rub it, but Zhien rubs the back, your master, I like to rub the front."
"Oh." Li Zhien understood instantly, flew to Li Mu, turned around and ran out. Since she had to take a bath in a big bucket, she would burn more water, so she had to arrange it.
The little girl ran away, and Li Mu didn't say anything else to make Bai Qiaoqiao blush. Instead, he discussed the matter of opening a shop with her. He had discussed before that he would set up a shop in Dongshi. Wang Ou also said that if Bai Qiaoqiao wanted to do business, she could give her the shop in Dongshi. But Bai Qiaoqiao didn't want Wang Ou's things, so she put it aside.
Now that JD.com has JD.com, and JD.com is now full of empty shops, Bai Qiaoqiao will naturally not go to Dongshi to open a shop again. So she thought that after lunch tomorrow morning, she would go to JD.com to choose a good location. It is simple to open. Li Mu is surrounded by people who work. There are all kinds of craftsmen in the Ministry of Works. If the decoration shop requires bricklayers and carpenters, there are eight hundred or more. Now the craftsman workshop and the project of the heaven and earth are over, and it is time to be idle. Even if it is not idle, Li Mu will rush to work with people.
As for the things sold, there is no need for workers. In just one night, Li Mu can make ten liters of perfume. He put them in a small bottle of dozens of milliliters, and ten liters of perfume have been sold for several months. The same is true for soap. Li Mu has figured out the ratio of the ratio, and the production is just a big pot to heat and stir. He plans to sell it in limited quantities, and it will be enough to make it once a month.
He was not worried at all about business. The only thing he was worried about was that Wang Ou's fur shop was also opened in JD.com, and Bai Qiaoqiao also went to JD.com to open a shop. The chances of contact between the two will inevitably increase, which is not a good thing for him.
If the two women have conflicts, he will be stuck in the middle and cannot be a human being.
If the two daughters have a relationship with Jinlan, he will feel even more uncomfortable. Both of them have Jinlan, how can they have an affair in the future? This wife is not as good as a concubine, and the concubine is not as good as a steal. The taste of stealing fragrance and jade is irreplaceable.
Hehehe...
Li Mu laughed inexplicably, and Bai Qiaoqiao looked at him and felt very distressed. Alas, my husband is so pitiful, he is sick again, otherwise how could he smile inexplicably?
The next morning, Li Mu got up early. He used a brocade box to fill five bottles of perfume and five pieces of soap. Then he put a bottle of perfume and a piece of soap in his arms, waiting for Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien to set off to see the shop. He called Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu, two generals, and also set off from home.
Li Mu is going to give gifts.
Go to the palace to give gifts.
From ancient times to the present, the so-called fashions are all from top to bottom. The popularity trends in later generations depend on models, celebrities, and celebrities. Li Mu has already figured out what the popular fashions in the Tang Dynasty are looking at.
Look at the queen, the emperor, and the ministers.
For example, Empress Changsun had a gold hairpin with a gem inlaid on it. Then, jewelry shops in the east and west markets began to be popular with gems inlaid on the gold hairpin.
For example, Li Shimin wore a robe embroidered with gold wire. This robe was tributed by the Xiao family in Jiangnan and was of great value. When the nobles of Chang'an City saw it, they did not dare to use gold wire, so they embroidered it with silver wire, which was also popular for a while.
Wang Ou told him about the popularity of clothes. She knew very detailedly about the sound.
Li Mu himself also heard about something that was related to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng likes to eat jealous celery, but vegetables are very expensive and Wei Zheng can't afford them. Therefore, when Li Shimin held a banquet, he often gave Wei Zheng a special gift to Wei Zheng to show his importance to Wei Zheng and to express his intention to encourage officials to advise.
Li Shimin just wanted to meet his preferences, but the censors in the court regarded jealousy as one of the criteria for whether he was a good censor. The censor who was not jealous of Qin was not a good censor. For a moment, the price of celery in Chang'an increased by 30%. Wei Zheng could not afford it, but now he could not afford it.
This is a little bit of information that Ergou found out when Li Mu was fighting with Wei Zheng. After Li Mu found out, he asked the chef at home to buy another batch of celery, which increased the price of celery by 20%. Wei Zheng completely bid farewell to vinegar celery within this year. Because after the increase of 50%, even the palace would not buy celery. Even if Li Shimin wanted to give Wei Zheng a vinegar celery, if there was no in the palace, what else would he eat?
